Andover Parent to Parent Welcomes: Rachel Simmons
Enough As She is: How to Help Girls Move Beyond Impossible Standards of Success to Live Happy, Healthy, Fulfilled Lives
 
Wednesday, January 26, 2022
7:30 PM-8:45 PM via Zoom
(This is a Zoom event. Advanced registration required. www.andoverp2p.com)
 
Girls have never been more successful, yet they’ve also never struggled more with anxiety, stress and depression. In this talk, Rachel Simmons translates the toxic messages about achievement that girls have internalized, and teaches parents the tools to help girls practice self-compassion, redefine success, pursue purpose, and—most importantly—let them know they are enough as they are.
 
Rachel Simmons is on the faculty of the Google School for Leaders and teaches at Smith College. She is co-founder of the NGO Girls Leadership, and has served as an advisor to Oprah Winfrey & Sheryl Sandberg. Rachel is an internationally recognized educator and author of the New York Times bestsellers: Odd Girl Out, The Curse of the Good Girl, and Enough As She is: How to Help Girls Move Beyond Impossible Standards of Success to Live Healthy, Happy and Fulfilling Lives.
 
*Enough As She Is: can be purchased with the Andover Bookstore online or in the store.
